Searching for Grandad

Searching for Grandad
Grandad's name was Frederick Burden, he was born in Kingston uponHull, East Yorkshire, leaving school at 13 he trained as a plumber.

He died in France in June 1917 (First World War).

Little was known of grandad until the mid 1990's when my wife Pauline and I decided with encouragement from Pauline's sister(Elaine) and her husband(Andy) to investigate further.

Elaine and Andy have an interest in militeria and the First World War, and invited us to accompany them on one of their trips to the WW1 battlefields of France.

My Mother(Dorothy) spoke very little of her father, she either did not know much or she wanted to keep quiet, she was only five when her father died.

Some information was discovered in my mothers possessions after her death, my mothers sister(Vera) also supplied snippets of information including grandad's Death Penny.

This web site shows the information found to date.
